Career

Scott generates artworks in ceramics and other media with digital production methods. She refers to her creative practice as tracking "the shifting edge between the seen and unseen." She says she creates objects "in the continuum between technology and embodiment, materiality and the virtual, order and chance, language and silence." Scott works both independently and collaboratively as a part of the Craft Mystery Cult Performance collaborative, described as "a group tracing the relationship of object materiality and human interaction".

Art education

In 2013, Scott was the Franzen Fellow for Digital Craft at Colorado State University-Fort Collins. From 2015 to 2017, she was a Lecturer in the Department of Art Practice at the University of California-Berkeley. She also has taught at The Golden Dome School For Performing Planetary Rites. Scott joined the faculty of the Art Department of the University of Oregon in 2017.

Curatorial practice

Speaking about "New Morphologies: Studio Ceramics and Digital Practices" at Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, which she curated with Del Harrow in 2013, Scott said, "What most excites me about digital fabrication are the ways in which it continues to enact our very human striving to bring form to an ideal." The exhibit highlighted "work that emerges from the encounter between the physical materiality of ceramic objects and the ephemerality of digital information".
